A THOUGHT FOR YOU
A thought for you
James a. galgano
Upon a distant horizon where tomorrow longs to be
In the celestial garden of your heavenly delight
Where hope shines eternally from the window of your soul
There is where, your true beauty is discovered waking into light
Of the paradise, which surrounds you in loving embrace
For a moment’s glance into your angelic face
Filled with mesmeric allure, which like a...
SMITTEN
Smitten
By james a. galgano
Who can put this beating heart upon each page
Describing the taste of heaven as she lingers
Through every waking hour or restless dream
Words are unable to accurately define this feeling
Time incapable of letting one forget each smile’s delight
Melting the veneer of age off your humble exterior
Turning your routine into a tower of babble
As you watch her every...
SHORELINE VIEW
BY JAMES A. GALGANO
BEAUTIFUL VISION ALONG THE SHORELINE
PLAYING AMONG THE WAVES WHO EMBRACE YOUR CHARM
I WATCH YOU SEARCHING FOR ANSWERS
IN THE EYES OF SKIPPING STONES YOU SEE
A LIFE LESS ORDINARY THAT COULD ONE DAY BE
TRUE THE OCEAN IS FILLED WITH SO MANY STONES
AS WELL AS PEARLS THERE MAY ALSO BE
YOUR LIFE’S JOURNEY HAS JUST BEGUN ON THIS HORIZON
FOLLOW YOUR SPIRIT AS...

ROSARY REFLECTION
Rosary Reflection.
by james a. galgano
Cross-eyed crucifixion, her nails dearly cling
To the rotting wood like haunting memories
Which once displayed his near lifeless frame
In all its grandeur, yet unable to be a saviour
Within the confines of a hollowed out cathedral
Where dreamlike reflections
Plague my inner eye still
Of what might have been
In that church on kings park hill
We...
IF YOU ARE STILL READING THIS
if you are still reading this
by james a. galgano
Today follows
Like any other
Tail between legs
With shivering shards of fear
Looking over someone else’s shoulder
As a cold wind sends death a familiar message
I am open for business today
I wonder if you will see me coming
No light in the tunnel
For this oncoming train
I prefer to quietly follow your every footstep
Unnoticed and...
A MISTAKE OF LOVE
A mistake of love
By james a. galgano
In the tearful eyes of some sorrowful blunder
Where if might have been truly were
Our love would never have been cast asunder
Or left to spiral on its collision course
With the passing of the clasped hands of time
Around the throat of what we
once cherished and/or considered divine
But so much for idle thoughts lingering
Within the limerick of idle...
MY WORLD_
MY WORLD
BY JAMES A. GALGANO
THESE TINY SILENT FOOT PRINTS
THAT RACE PRECARIOUSLY
ACROSS EACH PAGE
SEARCHING FOR AN ANSWER
THAT WILL NEVER PINPOINT THIS SORROW
WHICH IS NOW UNABLE
TO PRONOUNCE THE RAGE
WITHIN SOME UNDEFINED CIRCUMFERENCE
DEVOLVING AS IF ON CUE
INTO WHAT MIGHT HAVE BEEN
YET MAY NOW NEVER BE
CLEARLY DEFINED BY WHAT YOU NEVER KNEW
REGARDING THE EVER PRESENT MYSTERY
OF...
YOUR SACRAMENT
Your sacrament
By james a. galgano
More than a little taste of heaven
Sparkles within the blossom of your loving eyes
Where impossible dreams sprout wings
Transporting this wayward soul to untold heights
Upon catching second wind of your tsunami delight
As your lovely smile removes every scent of my sorrow
Filling my heart with hope for a brighter tomorrow
With you as the sunshine comforting...
ENDLESS JOURNEY
Endless journey
By james a galgano
In the dark musty basement of a wandering soul
One may often find life’s complicated contradictions
Boring a deep endless hole of wavering convictions
As far as the inner eyes of conscience are able to see
Often within that dark abyss grow ideals undefined
Which steer each decision upon life’s inclement sea
In search of some undiscovered passage of shining...
BY CHANCE
BY CHANCE
By james a. galgano
the world stopped the moment you looked in my eyes
one million miles away across the planet of my demise
my life seemed to be hurtling in slow motion into tomorrow
when your gentle heart reeled me in yellow sponge surprse
you pulled my aged face from an endless sea of sorrow
where you once also resided there we met one fateful day
who would have known certainly...
DESTINY UNFURLED
DESTINY UNFURLED
BY JAMES A. GALGANO
THE WORLD IS A LILTING LULLABYE QUIVERING UPON THE LIPS OF TWO LONGING LOVERS WHO ARE PARTING FOR THE LAST TIME FOR DESTINATIONS UNKNOWN
LIFE IS A FINITE MELODY LINGERING UPON THE UNWRITTEN PAGE OF ILLDEFINED LENGTH SEEKING LYRICS TO CAPTURE THE MOMENT WITH ETERNAL RAPTURE ILLCONCEIVED
LOVE IS LONGING EMBRACE OF THE ONE WHO YOU HOLD MOST DEAR TO YOUR...
HALLOWEEN CRUCIFIXION
HALLOWEEN CRUCIFIXION
BY JAMES A. GALGANO
THE PUMPKIN JESUS ROLLED INTO TO TOWN
DRESSED IN IVORY COLORED GRIM FILLED WITH IDEALISTIC DOWN
HE LONGED FOR LOVE AND PREACHED THE GOSPEL OF PEACE
YET IN A WORLD OF WOE AND LIES
HIS CLAIMS FELL MUTE UPON A GOLDEN FLEECE
SHIMMERING IN A MODERN AGE OF LUST
REFLECTIVE OF OUR PREOCCUPATION WITH PRIMAL DISGUST
WHERE WAS THE LOVE WHICH ONCE GUIDED OUR WAY
HOW...
REALITY
REALITY
James a. galgano
SO WHO KILLED YOUR DREAMS AND LEFT THEM
TO ROT ON THE SIDE OF A ROAD TO NOWHERE FAST
EVEN AS PASSING TRAFFIC DROVE BY UNNOTICED WHILE SEXTING SOME LONG LOST LOVER IN SATIN AND LACE WEARING A PLASTIC FACE
YOU ALMOST FELL FOR AS IN A DEEP DARK RAVEEN
WHILE YOUR ENMOTIONS DRIVEN CAREENED IN A DRUNKEN STUPOR
OR WAS IT A DEEP HEARTFELT EROTIC EMOTION
WHO COULD TELL IN ALL THE...
REGRET
Regret
By james a. galgano
Drifting in the mind of someone I thought I knew
Someone who said they loved me but I now know I never knew
What a quandary an incomprehensible divide
Where do lovers run to seek cover yet unable to hide
So much for transparency and the love we once shared
Years of emotional investment reap no reward
For time spent and lives shared all for naught
Like unsuspecting...
SOLEMN
SOLEMN
BY JAMES A. GALGANO
The room swoons quietly
My heart breaks into tears
Your loving life left me suddenly
Alone with my imperfections and fears
Here in this now empty home
Where romance lingers still
I dwell on your comforting caress
That gave me the confidence and will
Now alone leaves me with the pointlessness
To pursue each and every day
Without your life or love
Where does...
SPIRAL STAIRCASE
SPIRAL STAIRCASE
BY JAMES A. GALGANO
I SAW A DEAD MAN CLIMBING UP DESCENDING STAIRS
CARRYING UPON HIS SHOULDERS THIRTEEN CHAIRS
WITHIN EACH ONE A VICTIM SOON TO BE
THAT IS WHERE I SAW MYSELF IN CHAIR NUMBER THREE
I WAS UNAWARE OF MYSELF ALMOST IN A TRANCE
DREAMING OF ENDLESS TOMORROWS PERCHANCE
A LIFE LIVED IN HAPPINESS ETERNALLY
BUT AS THE FROWN CLEARLY DESCRIBED IN THE IMAGERY
OF THE...
SOLITUDE
SOLITIUDE
BY JAMES A. GALGANO
ANOTHER QUIET DAY SPENT
IN A WAYWARD CAFE
CONTEMPLATING THE MEMORIES
WITH EACH SCARRING REMINDER
AS WELL AS THE DEFENSIVE REJOINDER
RATIONALIZING THE IRREVERSIBLE ACTIONS
MISSPENT MOMENTS GONE AWRY
WITH EACH SIP OF TEA
A GLANCING PASSERBYE
WITH THEIR OWN MEMORIES
NEVER MEETING EYE TO EYE
NOR NOTICING THE EXPRESSIONS
OF EACH TURNED AWAY FACE
THERE IS...
VISION OF LOVELINESS
VISION OF LOVELINESS
BY JAMES A. GALGANO
ONCE UPON ALMOST UNFORGOTTEN TIME
SHE STOOD SO STILL AND SILENTLY
GAZING TOWARDS TOMORROW INTROSPECTIVE
EXUDING ALLURE UNDIRECTED IN ANY PARTICULAR WAY
A VISION UNSTUCK IN TIME WHOSE LOVELINESS
WAS ABLE TO SOFTLY SCAR AND ENTRANCE A VACUOUS MIND
AS MINE ALONG IT’S WAYWARD PATH TO TOMORROW
I NEVER FELT SUCH RAPTURE BEFORE SHE SMILED
AND EVEN IF NOT IN...
BETRAYAL
Betrayal
By james a. galgano
Upon your moistened lips of angelic wonder I was lost
Casting to the four winds for a taste of heaven all the costs
I fell so deeply into your loving embrace hoping to find my place
Or perhaps the paradise we all seek from birth to death
To make those cherished memories so fleeting we would catch our death of cold
And if unsuccessful be left alone without a hope...
APOCALYPTIC SERENEDE
APOCALYPTIC SERENADE
BY JAMES A. GALGANO
BEYOND WHERE THE BOUGH OF THE WEEPING WILLOW BREAKS
UNDER THE STORMY BARRAGE OF RECURRING HEARTBREAKS
WITHIN THE AGING EYES AND SORROWFUL IMAGERY
OF THE ONGOING VIOLENCE WHICH PREVAILS IN THE FACE OF ADVERSITY
ONE CAN ALMOST HEAR THE SLEEPING GIANT OF YOUTH QUESTIONING AUTHORITY, THAT HAVE SPOON FED THEM WITH ARROGANT AUDACITY
WITH THE AIM OF REINING...
RENTED ROOM OF SORROW
Rented room of sorrow
By james a. galgano
In a room of rented dreams and wherefores
Clings the lonely replies filled with there fore
And moments of what will be empty and alone
Unable to see through the tears of sorrowful rain
That quench no one’s thirst not even these lilies of pain
That mark your unmarked grave scarred upon my mind
In a graveyard of despair my life has easily become
Where in...
POINTLESS
POINTLESS
BY JAMES A. GALGANO
IF THE WORLD GETS IN OUR WAY
AND WE NEVER HAVE THE TIME TO SAY EXACTLY HOW WE FEEL
WHILE EACH DAY SEEMS MORE UNREAL
EVEN LOVED ONES DRIFT APART
VICTIMS OF AN AGING HEART
BEATING TO A DIFFERENT DRUM
NO LONGER ABLE TO SEE, HEAR OR RUN
THE WAY WE USED YO DO
EACH NEW DAY BURIES ONE MORE CLUE
OF WHO WE USED TO BE AND THOUGHT WE KNEW
BUT NOW IT ALL SEEMS A MYSTERY
WHO...
PILGRIMS PROMISE
PILGRIM PROMISE
BY JAMES A. GALGANO
PELTED BY PLYMOUTH ROCKS FROM HADES BEDEVILED SHORELINE
WHILE THE SWIRLING TIDES OF INGRATITUDE MOCK OUR IMPERFECTION
WHIRLWINDS OF HORMONES GUIDE OUR OFTEN MISDIRECTED JOURNEY
TOWARDS A HAZY PREMONITION OF UNCERTAIN FATE
THAT IS WHERE WE BUILD OUR PRECARIOUS HOMELAND
WITHIN THE WILDERNESS OF UNFAMILIAR EMBRACE
THAT DARKNESS OFTEN OFFERS US WITH OLIVE BRANCH...
A GIFT OF SELF
A GIFT OF SELF
BY JAMES A. GALGANO
I DO NOT HAVE THE WORLD TO GIVE YOU
YOU WOULD HAVE IT ALL IF I DID
ALL I HAVE NOW IS TO GIVE YOU IS MYSELF
A LIFE TO LOVE AND A LOVE TO LIVE
IT MAY NOT SEEM THAT MUCH TO YOU
BUT YOU SEE IT IS ALL, I CAN CALL MY OWN
TO YOU I GIVE IT ALL TO YOU WILLINGLY
MY LOVE TO SHELTER YOU ALONE
MY LIFE FOREVER TO BE YOUR ETERNAL HOME
I ASK OF YOU NOTHING MORE IN...
DELICIOUS
DELICIOUS
BY JAMES A. GALGANO
Delaying lascivious of tongue inside the orafice of its private oasis, its eyes want that the comets that sparkle fill the skies with its temptation of the beauty that deceives. If only time would stop still inside the tepid comforting paradise of its loving hug. That is where promise of eternity of the infinite passion and mutual empathy resides sincerely...
GARDEN OF POSSIBILITY
GARDEN OF POSSIBILITY
BY JAMES A. GALGANO
ENFOLDED BLOSSOM DORMANT DIVINE
WAITING TO UNFOLD IN ALL BRILLIANCE
BENEATH UNKNOWN SUNSHINE
EACH BLISSFUL OFFERING
ANTICIPATES REDEMPTIVE SMILE
RAISING DOWNTRODDEN THOUGHT
WITH A MERE INQUISITIVE GLARE
EXUDING TEMPTATION’S NECTAR
FROM EACH ANTICIPATED BUDDING PEAR
DANGLING FROM A HOPEFUL TREE OF LIFE
RADIATING FROM EDEN’S GARDEN
WHERE YOU...

REAL LIFE
Real life ……….
BY JAMES A. GALGANO………
THE WORLD CRASHED THROUGH MY WINDOW THE OTHER DAY
LIKE A BRICK WRAPPED TIGHTLY
IN THE MILLENIUM OLD LAUNDRY OF MY SPECIES
FILLED WITH THE EXCREMENT
OF OUR BANKRUPT PHILOSOPHIES’
RATIONALE FOR DEVASTATING THE PLANET
OF ITS LOWER FOOD CHAIN EXISTENCE
EVEN ITS OWN KIND WHO THREATEN THEIR GOAL
OF DEVELOPING AND/OR PLUNDERING NATIONS
FOR THE...
PROUD PARENT
PROUD PARENT BY JAMES A. GALGANO
the miracle which brought those tiny eyes
to my ever loving embrace
and serenaded me with your many tears
as if abandoned to the night
breaking this hulking extremity in two
as each tiny hand clung to my soul for dear life
yet each innocent laughter constantly
redeemed me from my constant imperfections
while i fed you, changed you and lullabyed you...
SURRENDER
Surrender
By james a. galgano
Life’s unwelcome surprise a well kept secret
Until one’s unfortunate or well-planned demise
Encountered on some unannounced day
As if upon cue, what was one to do
But to greet with open un-embraceable arms
Or openly defy its advances ensued
Was it a battle of wits or conspiracy of twits
Who had never been seen as threatening before
A mere aberration of fact or act to...
HELLO
Moonlit bravado
By james a. galgano
Exquisite moonlight reflects elegant grace
Shimmering from the virtuous face of enchaniting delicacy
With a subtle Madonna smile revealing erotic glow
Arousing a tumultuous discomforting yet rapturous flow
Of romantic apprehension within pounding heartache
Frozen in hypnotic infatuation within her celestial shadow
Enticing each visage with ample romantic residue in place
Engaging every focused view upon her enchanting face
she is innocently unaware of the fascination she creates
which embeds in every memory a spellbound trace immaculate
inspiring insatiable dreams within inclement verse imbued
with the tantalizing charm she so effortlessly exudes delight
echoing through each vein of those enraptured by your moonlight
